KatolaZ seems to have been the most recent force for keeping sysvinit-core
updated with Debian devs only chipping in when it caused issues for Debian.
'halt' from Debian hasn't been updated for a year, but then updates should be
infrequent for a stable core binary.
This is also exactly what I would expect when the (Debian) Devs have no vested
interest in maintaining a (sysvinit) package.
So instead of comparing 'halt' man pages I suggest you compare the source
versions.
